Blake Corum's career-best performance showcases Rams' surging rush attackRecent performances from Blake Corum and the Kyren Williams have provided the Rams with a renewed confidence in their running game.
Blake Corum Leads Potent Rams' BackfieldThe Los Angeles Rams rolled up 530 yards of offense, including 249 yards on the ground, in their 45-17 Week 14 demolition of the Arizona Cardinals. Blake Corum led LA's backfield, rushing for a career-best 128 yards and 2 TDs. Despite splitting carries with Kyren Williams, Corum has rushed for 209 yards and 3 TDs in his last two games, cementing his status as one of the top players to add for the fantasy playoffs.
Kyren Williams: Scores eighth rushing TD SundayWilliams took 13 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Kyren Williams had 13 rushes for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 14 win against the Cardinals, adding two catches for 13 yards.The Rams did whatever they wanted on the ground against the low-effort Cardinals defense. Williams averaged 6.5 yards per carry and Blake Corum went for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries in an easy win for LA. Williams showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that cost him some practice time last week. He ran 19 routes to 12 routes for Corum. Williams' weekly workload is firmly capped as long as Corum is healthy; he doesn't have more than 14 carries in a game since early November. Williams will be a somewhat touchdown-reliant RB2 play in Week 15 against Detroit.
Blake Corum had 12 rushes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' Week 14 win against the Cardinals, adding one catch for three yards.Corum and Kyren Williams -- and in the fourth quarter, Ronnie Rivers -- were ripping off one chunk gain after another against a lifeless Cardinals defense that didn't have a whole lot of interest in tackling the hard-running LA backs. Corum blew through the Arizona front seven time and again until he ripped off a 48-yard touchdown in the third quarter without a single Cards defender laying a hand on him. Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur has said he wants to keep Williams "fresh" for the postseason, meaning Corum is live for 12-15 weekly touches depending largely on game script. Corum, averaging nearly five yards per carry this season, will be a viable 12-team flex in Week 15 against Detroit.
